Re: Ladder Feet/Foot replacement

The rubber dip is a good ideal but I would recommend that before you dip, you cut a piece of wood to fill in between the vertical spaces of the bottom so that you have a good flat surface, that way, you lessen the chances that the dip will wear off of one side or the other which would leave a sharp...

I've been doing this with mine, too. For others that might be considering it: 1. Get the dip. The spray version just isn't thick enough - you'd need a hundred coats. 2. The ladder's legs WILL fit in the can. It's close, but they do fit. So it's basically just dip them in and let them dry. I hung the...

Well, I finally got around to doing this in my camper. I went with vinyl tile after my brother gave me a couple boxes of tile that he no longer needed. Let me tell you, that stuff is EASY to work with - if you've never done it and are afraid of the difficulty, don't be. It's not hard at all. My job ...

Re: Has anyone replaced our old fan?

I have a 1993 B190 and would like to put up a new stronger and quieter fan in the van. Has anyone replaced the original with a new Fantastic Fan or the Maxx fan? Is it an easy replacement? I think replacing it is fairly easy. I've heard of it being done on trailers inside 15-20 minutes. Getting it ...

A bad speed sensor can cause all kinds of oddball problems, so I wouldn't exclude that. But, yeah, I'd take it to a tranny specialist, if you can find one. And the first time I took mine to a transmission shop, they said the problem I was experiencing was an engine problem... turned out to be a bad ...

Try turning off overdrive and see if it still does it. If not, I suspect your overdrive gear is out.

I totally missed this question until now. The fridge draws 3 amps max in 110 volt mode, I believe. 3 amps times 110 volts = 330 watts. In reality the fridge probably usually uses less than that most of the time. The one thing that would worry me about this method is that it could run your deep cycle...

I've been in cool/cold weather several times in the camper, and it generally goes okay, except that my furnace has a tendency to squeal. I fixed it once before the first trip this spring, and it was fine all weekend, then the last night of the second weekend trip, it started squealing again. Arrgh.

Definitely agree! But I'm happy to say that I'm not getting any leakage at all now. It's nice not having waste sitting there when I pop off the sewer cap.

That's pretty impressive. The one time I tried the luggage rack antenna it didn't work very well, but I might have been in a bad area for TV reception.

I got new shocks on mine late last week. Only drove it about two miles, from the shop to my house, and I could feel the difference already. Only problem is that now the steering feels loose...I'm probably going to end up taking it back to the shop and have them diagnose and fix it - could be tie rod...

Yeah, but you're not likely to drop the microwave in the sink/tub either. :)

I really don't know - I'm just guessing.
